Shriner begins by discussing the sparse records available on the early history of the Church, acknowledging the efforts of living sources with rich memories, and the importance of diligent research in piecing together a coherent narrative. He introduces remarkable figures such as Father Isaac Jogues and various missionaries who faced persecution and adversity, illustrating the deep-rooted struggles for religious freedom.
